I needed to replace my ageing stick so I though I would give Thrustmaster a go. After all they have been pretty much at the top of the game forever lol. My main reason for this purchase what to play Elite Dangerous but it also works with other stick games and classic games with no issues. I have used this stick on, Elite Dangerous Star Wars X-Wing Star Wars Tie Fighter Star Wars X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter Star Wars X-Wing Alliance Strike Suit Infinity Strike Suit Zero All of these games handled like a charm, even on the 2 decade old classics of X-Wing and Tie Fighter. The stick has a fantastic "weight" and control to its feel due to the HEART system. Total precision, tiny increments are noticed and its so nice to use. Most sticks I have used in the past have had like rubber suckers on the bottom to stop the stick moving, this one is just solid and does not move which is really nice especially when in combat. Also most sticks I have used you always run out of buttons. Even in Elite I have not got a use for every single button yet. This stick can be bought in combination with a HOTAS or this can be bought sesperately if you wish Absolutely awesome when my G920 wheel dies I will probably jump to Thrustmaster wheels just on how good this stick was.

These joysticks have a design fault with the twist axis. They all eventually suffer from potentiometer probs. I have two of them and regret the decision - great product in other respects, but I wouldn't trust the company with my money again based on this issue

Pretty cheap switches, plasticky feeling joystick with a nasty, blinding orange glow are the things that really hit you about this joystick. It's overpriced to say the least. But... The magnetic positioning is priceless. No more broken potentiometers after a month! This joystick just goes on and on working until after a year or two the ball-joint will get so sloppy you will want to replace it, or one of the cheap switches fails. Either way, it's lasted five times longer than any other joystick ( and believe me, I tried them all. I used to eat Logitechs for breakfast. ) and you will have considered your £50 investment a darn good purchase.....until you have to find the money to buy another, that is. So all in all this is a cheap product at a premium price, but truth is that it is way, way better than anything else out there for less than a few hundred quid, and for the dedicated joysticker it is an absolute must. By the way, you can remove the base and disconnect the LED's pretty easy! Read full review

I have owned all the top end HOTAS. But none of them were truley designed for space sims. Or they just break after one week of use (AKA X55 Rhino, all three I bought broke with in a week of delivery) or are missing some basic functionality like twist on the stick (AKA Warthog). Immediatly when you load up Elite dangerouse you will see the T.16000M FCS stick and throttle were designed for Elite. And as far as HOTAS prices go, The price is perfect. It does not feel cheap. The sensors are the same sensors that are in the warthog, pin perfect and smooth. The throttle is just amasing. so many buttons and hat switches all with in very easy reach. The flight stick and the Throttle are not attched to eachother. meaning, you can have them to either end of your desk, or you can even have dedicated tables for them on either side of your chair with out the worry of cables crossing over your body.Read full review

I previously had the old version of this stick. This is a great upgrade, everything about it feels like it is well made, and the buttons and the stick axes all respond well. They feel solid without feeling too strong. Obviously, it's plastic not metal, but for the price, I think this is a great stick.

It's that good I bought two! Although that's because the Thrustmaster HOTAS slide throttle is not made for left handers and I have to use two of these which can be configured for left and right hand use. They work great with Elite Horizons. No problems with reliability so far and they still feel tight in use.

Smooth, precise operation, no sticky points, squeaks or friction. Not too many lights on it, nor are they a ludicrously bright colour. All in all the best joystick I've ever used.
